Anyone have any early or promotional Infocom material

[Buyatari]

I am a big fan of the old Infocom games and as of late I've been trying to find all the oddball items.

Posters,maps,T-shirts,promotional material,buttons,employee items, anything released by the Zork user groups. In general if you have something that a person could not walk into the store and buy even when it was current then I am looking for it.

Here are a few of the things I found pictures of online.

I don't have anything promotional, but I did just put my hands on a copy of Zork Trilogy with the Zorkmid. Sadly, it has a little bit of damage from the bag, but it's still cool to have.

Nothing to add I'm afraid, but I just have to say that those are really amazing. That's really a fantastic collection you've got.

Good luck! Infocom collecting is very serious business. It can get competitive and expensive with rarer titles and promotional material.

Those are some great pictures, though.

Sadly these are not my things. I saw many things come and go but never paid much attention until recently.

I do own one of the early Zork maps.

Also I once owned the business card and Hitchhikers case that you see in the pictures but I sold them in a time of weakness. Other than the brass card and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy business card case, the pictures you see were swiped by me from the internet.

I still need a coin. I have the game without it.

The Zorkmid coin sells for close to $100 by itself sometimes.

In any event, it's a great time in collecting when you don't have much, because you have the world to gain. Best of luck if you plan on tracking any of that swag down. It looks like there's some really awesome stuff out there.

I have some found memories of Zork, and I imagine a lot of others do as well. I'm sure infocom collecting is every bit as competitive as pseudonym suggested.

[NerdXCrewWill]

Holy 'mole! The only Infocom game I've ever finished is Leather Goddesses of Phobos, but I'd still kill for this stuff anyways. Amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Still looking for the other the maps , and any buttons and posters of which I have none.

I do have a book entitled: ZORK: The Cavern of Doom; A What-do-I-do-now-book. Printed in 1983. It's number three in a sort of choose your own adventure type book. I don't think this is what you are looking for, but thought I would put it out there.

Those are more a mass produced later item and mostly I'm looking for the oddball early hard to find ones.

Still if you want to make a trade of some sort I'd trade a game of equal value for it. What systems do you collect for?

[-dustburn-]

Sure, man.
Let me just send you a PM.

Nice copy of the ZUG Zork1 invisiclues! Anything you'd trade for it? A complete Zork Trilogy maybe?

Unless I missed something, the HHGTTG business card case has Marvin from the 2005 feature film. While it may be legit licensed HHGTTG promo merch, I don't think that would in any way be related to the Infocom company/game, since they were long gone by 2005.
